I read lots of prison books
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
And this is the best one. The only bad part is the fact that it's quite short. Being a text, it's also expensive. But it's concise, well written, informative, and the commentaries by the editor are helpful. I live a few miles from Grateford and found that added to my interest.
Author Victor Hassine Lauded for Efforts

I met the author in prison during an educational presentation, and found out about the book through our local criminal justice classes. After reading this book, I came away with an increased knowledge of life in prison and the multiple methods of manipulation that exists among prisoners. The book is well written, researched, and exemplifies the wasted talents of inmates in prison today. Victor is to be applauded for his efforts to enlighten us about life in prison in a realistic manner.Pat [email protected]
truth

Life without Parole is an inmate's account of life at Graterford prison in Pennsylvania. It is a view of prison as he knew it. I would never expect the guards nor the administration to publicly admit to the goings on at Graterford during the time the author was incarcerated. There are countless acounts of wrong doing by both inmates and guards alike. Mr. Hassine has presented his view of prison and I find it to be informative, interesting, and believable.
This is a terrific book, you must read it.

I had a chance to meet this man, he is a very intellegent man and a great writer. This book changed my views on prisons and prison life. In talking with him in Albion prison, where I met him while i was on tour there, i realized why he wrote the book. You must read this very real book.
There's nothing like the truth from the PEN.

I feel the only way to describe the place is to be blunt about. The truth, to you nonbelievers and you that KNOW and won't believe is staring you in the face. Today's society express all the terms I've learn from Dr. Wright's (a great man) class. I've spent time inside, but probably not the time that immediatly come to mind. Observe almost any institution and you'll, really, see the same behavior. Maybe most are not privileged enough to explore the depths of many others' personal rel-ships. Wheather its the military, the dept. of corr., tyson chicken or the calms missionary baptist church, LIFE within individuals will exist. This, in turn, yeilds love and sometimes distress. Once you can truly recognize that there is a good and bad rooted, then killings, such as those we have experienced will continue to exist. I must go now. Thank you for listening.
